In 2024, the Human Impacts Institute launched a Green Map project that placed youth leadership and community storytelling at its core. Through the Youth Speak Out! fellowship, 12 young people (primarily from underserved neighborhoods) received training in creative climate communication and collaboratively built a Green Map highlighting over 100 local climate and cultural initiatives across Marseille.

From Green Map: Although this project took place more than 20 years ago, it's still a unique application! Read more about the outcomes below from our board member, Barent Roth.

Charting Forgotten Spaces: This particular project was in some ways an outlier for Green Map – set in a Catholic Church on a block of Harlem (East 129th Street) which the NY Times had designated as the “most hopeless” in all of New York City and investigated by young people who were hoping that their findings would inspire some accelerated positive change in a neighborhood which had not experienced much of that in their short lifetimes.
